4:11 am
is confused about what it should be doing and how it should be moving forward it's trying to step back and allow some of you know the arab world basically in the muslim world to make its own decisions but there's such a there's such chaos going on right now i think we need to be more engaged and more active this is about really qualifying down stopping the rhetoric against iran and moving forward to more peaceful and better relationships and better respect with each other so they can have a good future and so can we. and we're also closely following the arrests in the muslim world that answer your call money got more in the provokers of western portrayal of the middle east a towel websites anti palestinian adverts accused of inciting hatred will go up across the new york subway as you are so she's say the billboards not justified on the basis of free speech. and also live for you an actress in the under islam film that sparked the middies protests of files a lawsuit against its producer as well as google and you tube fears for the safety

him it's a daily routine that you're soft as a horse breeder on the island of a horn at the heart of bike all his life on an isolated farm is about blue sky green grass and his horses weren't there sometimes he gets lonely here but horses have become part of me now i've fallen off so many times sometimes that bites as well it's part of my every day life. i home suburban home to it now brats locally just laugh for centuries most still live off the land of cattle and fish every evening local villagers place their nets and in the morning the catch is always good. we always have enough here. if by call is often called the pearl of siberia and horn is said to be the pearl of

while as an order to run next. sounds like m.t.v. rather now see now they were makes is now being released as a single take lego was apologizing for breaking a pre election promise not to increase tuition fees but his party by tripling of fees to nine thousand pounds and he admitted he should never have made the pledge to get out of this speech will surely had over the liberal democrats conventions nick clegg's popularity has flatlined recently and political blogger georgie truly believes his own party will likely get the babies in bed two different lines of this plague and his apology suggests that the party should have made the pledge in the first place because there's no money around would have been too expensive to implement now what's the chemist saying is well we would have kept the pledge but
4:18 am
it was part of a very good. but it got less direction the lib dems haven't got one single message on my i think until they so they do then i'll be hard for the very just take them seriously plagues better the moment is that the best hope of turning his party's fortunes around is to show that they can choose things for the country government rather than spend side arguing with the conservatives trying to differentiate themselves it remains to be seen whether. i think that clegg is probably finished and that the party will replace him before the next election so why do disastrous. but musical apologies on the only concern for the u.k.'s coalition of the moment as concept piled on to the british public was layoffs coloe it looks like the government is unaffected by recession the latest figures show the current coalition has doubled the number of policy advisers oh she's pointed boyd curran our report.

4:20 am
government was going to people. and he was very free with political analysts say they're worried about the increasing number of policy advisers as i made the coalition governments pledge to cut public spending it isn't just tests well a number that's worrying it's a question of their competence this year the british government's back to work sorry no business woman emma harrison who was appointed to help problem families find was forced to stand down from her role a major concerns over fraud within her company critics say the increasing number of cars within the u.k. government points to a deeper question about how the country is run and where the civil servants lack the expertise necessary to do their jobs properly. and the people have been killed and schools injured in the twin suicide bombing and

4:23 am
plans that faded away but now we've got gains and that's largely because oil prices gaming's that leads us on that we'll have a look at the prices that just now and as we can see they are rebounding trim the biggest weekly decline in more than three months as investors now speculate that the drop which was initially caused by supply increases was exaggerated severe is now a correction going on as we get into the exchange will be able to see what the russian ruble is doing the solve there is still managing today that the. opportunity for risk is now ignited we've also got the euro though it is managing to. still loitering around those a five day for the european markets they are now why this is been inspired by a report in the financial times that the european union overreaches are now working with spain on

4:25 am
if you're passing through russia's to be a region you really can walk on the wild side. thousands of kilometers of unspoiled countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the land and enterprising locals so the fruits of the forest by the side of nearly every road such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides a business opportunity for hunters going on he has been hunting for more than thirty years and works for a company providing expeditions for tourists this season ducks are on the menu. the two things are successful. at a bubble. which means that i need to be very quiet i'm not going to frighten the. office. but when you've been in the business as long as he has the birds don't stand much chance. there are defined hunting seasons in russia but lax
4:26 am
enforcement means many animals are killed out of the allotted times which can leave young animals orphaned and unable to survive but environmentalists are fighting back the heart of just us forest provides a sanctuary for the most famous beast in russia it's home to a group who rescue often bear cubs and raise them when they're old enough to fend for themselves the cubs a target taken to a remote location and released back into the wild but it's not just bears who find a haven here this is wolf island. here wolf pups have been captured by hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after
4:27 am
a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up. and this is where i was hoping for when i heard i was coming to a place called wolf i had a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as foster parents for the next generation will come here using the older walls as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs whose parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs it's an important part of the world's development and a major factor in the success of a project which has seen more than twenty generations of cubs grow up here it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolf's reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication in the wolf island remains a place where visitors can truly understand the cool of the wild. game
4:28 am
4:29 am
